“NOBODY’S RACISM AND BIGOTRY SHOULD BE EXCUSED FOR THE SAKE OF BEING POLITE.” HERE NOW, LARA TRUMP, TRUMP 2020 CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISOR. GREAT TO SEE YOU. THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. HELLO TO YOU. THE PRESIDENT IS CELEBRATING MARKING THE BIRTH OF DEMOCRACY, GIVING THAT SPEECH THERE TODAY IN VIRGINIA, INTERRUPTED BY A PROTESTER, A DELEGATE WHO IS DEFENDING HIS DECISION TO DO THAT. WHAT’S THE CAMPAIGN’S RESPONSE TO DOCUMENT>>WHAT YOU HEAR HERE IS NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. IT’S ALL WAS THE CALL OF RACISM AND MY PROBLEM WITH THIS, AND I THINK SO MANY PEOPLE’S PROBLEM WITH CONTINUALLY LOSING RACISM WHEN WE KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE WHEN IT IS JUST A TALKING POINT FOR THE LEFT SO MUCH OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS THAT WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS TRUE, WHEN THERE IS RACISM, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT ANYMORE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SO SICK OF HEARING THIS NARRATIVE. NOTHING THE PRESIDENT SAID THIS PAST WEEK HAD ANY RACIST TONES. OF COURSE PEOPLE WILL TRY TO MAKE THAT INSINUATION. IT’S NOT SURPRISING, THERE’S PROTESTERS. THAT SHOWMAN HAD A RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT IT’S A SHAME THAT THE MORE PEOPLE CAN’T CELEBRATE WITH THE PRESIDENT DID HERE TODAY.>>Sandra: IS A CONCERN OF A CAMPAIGN THAT THEY HAVE THEIR LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS DECIDING TO BOYCOTT THE EVENT AND NOT EVEN SHOWING UP?>>UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM, IF THEY WANTED TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT ON SOMETHING HAPPENING IN BALTIMORE, HERE WAS A GREAT TIME WHERE THEY COULD COMMIT WITH THE PRESIDENT AND SAY THEY’VE CALLED OUT FOR WHAT YOU WE KNOW TO BE TRUE, BALTIMORE IS IN SHAMBLES RIGHT NOW. THIS CITY AND ITS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IGNORED AND FORGOTTEN AND HOW CAN WE HELP, HOW CAN WE MOVE FORWARD? WE KNOW THAT YOU GAVE $16 BILLION IN FEDERAL GRANTS LAST YEAR TO BALTIMORE AND TO THIS SPECIFIC DISTRICT. IT WHERE HAS IT GONE? WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WITH THAT?>>Sandra: THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED DEPARTING VIRGINIA TODAY IF HE HAD ANY REGRETS AND THE RISING FEUD WITH ELIJAH CUMMINGS AND HE SAID NO. IS THERE A STRATEGY THE PRESIDENT IS APPLYING? HE SAID NO. OF TO GROW THE PRESIDENT’S BASED? WHAT POLITICALLY IS AT PLAY HERE?>>I WOULD GIVE CREDIT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR FINALLY PUTTING SOME LIGHT ON A CITY THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND BY ITS LEADERS. AND I DON’T SEE ANY STRATEGY TO IT OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A CITY WHO — WHERE YOU SEE THAT THE CRIME RATE IS THROUGH THE ROOF. IT’S GOT THE SAME HOMICIDE RATE IS EL SALVADOR, WHERE PEOPLE ARE FLEEING TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY, AND AT LEAST SOMEBODY IS SAYING LET’S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.>>Sandra: IF IT’S NOT BALTIMORE, DOES THE PRESIDENT HAD A GOAL TO GROW HIS BASE? BECAUSE HEAD OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, HE SAID — HE SUGGESTED THIS ISN’T ABOUT WINNING OVER NEW VOTES FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.>>ONLY ABOUT 70% OF THE POPULATION TURNS OUT TO VOTE, WE NEED TO FIND THE PEOPLE, GET THEM TO VOTE. IT’S NOT ABOUT GOING OUT THERE AND TRYING TO FIND SOME BOATER AND CHANGE HIS MIND. IT’S ABOUT GETTING THE ONES THAT SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT NOW AND GET THEM TO SHOW UP AT THE POLLS AND VOTE.>>I AGREE WITH THAT. FIRST OF ALL, I’VE ALWAYS SAID I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP IN 2016 WILL 100% COME BACK OUT AND VOTE FOR HIM IN 2020. BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS PRESIDENT IN 2016 FOR WHATEVER REASON IT MIGHT BE, AND THEIR LIFE IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER NOW. THEY HAVE A BETTER JOB, THEY HAVE MORE MONEY, THEY HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONTRAST THAT WITH WHAT WE SEE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND WE ARE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT IT TONIGHT AT THESE DEBATES.>>Sandra: IT’S INTERESTING, POLITICO HAD A PIECE ABOUT WHY A STRONG ECONOMY WILL ACTUALLY HELP DEMOCRATS IN 2020. THERE ARE THESE REGIONAL POCKETS WHO HAVE NOT BENEFITED AS MUCH AS THE REST OF THE NATION AND THEY SEE THEIR VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP IS NOT GETTING THEM PERHAPS A NEW JOB OR HIGHER WAGES OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. I’M SURE THAT SOMETHING YOU’RE LOOKING AT WITHIN THE CAMPAIGN, BUT I’M SURE THESE NUMBERS ARE ALSO A CONCERN FOR YOU WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN, YOU AND I HAVE CHATTED ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HERE ARE THE APPROVAL RATINGS OF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS HANDLING. MEN, 47% APPROVE. WE’VE GOT THAT. WOMEN, 34%. 61% RIGHT NOW IS APPROVED OF THE PRESIDENT’S JOB RIGHT NOW. BLACKS, 6% APPROVE, HISPANIC 40%, WHICH IS A HIGH NUMBER, BY THE WAY. BUT HOW DO YOU WIN OVER THOSE FEMALE VOTERS?>>WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AS A CAMPAIGN. WOMEN COALITION, WOMEN FOR TRUMP. WE HAD OVER A THOUSAND WOMEN IN PENNSYLVANIA SHOW UP. WE’RE GOING TO REPLICATE THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WE WANT WOMEN TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND WE WANT THEM TO TALK TO THEIR FRIENDS AND TALK TO THEIR COWORKERS AND EXPLAINED TO THEM BY THIS PRESIDENT IS SO GOOD.>>Sandra: YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK FAR TO DECEIVE WOMEN WHO SUPPORT TRUMP TO SAY WELL, SOME OF THIS RHETORIC, IT GETS TO THEM. SOME OF THE TWEETS, IT GETS TO THEM. DO YOU FEAR THAT ANY OF THAT IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM SOME OF THOSE WOMEN WHO DID ULTIMATELY VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT IN 2016?>>YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON’T THINK SO. I THINK WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN A VOTING BOOTH WHETHER YOU ARE A MAN OR WOMAN AND YOU REALLY REFLECT BACK ON HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THIS COUNTRY THANKS TO THIS PRESIDENT AND HOW THINGS ARE LOOKING BRIGHTER FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY, I REALLY THINK PEOPLE ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP.>>Sandra: THIS IS GOING TO BE IN “THE DETROIT FREE PRESS,” THE CAMPAIGN JUST PUT THIS OUT. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND PICTURED IS THOSE DEMOCRATS ON THE FIRST DEBATE STAGE SAYING THAT HEALTH INSURANCE SHOULD GO TO ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEN LISTS THE PRESIDENT’S RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHING SPIRIT WHAT DEMOCRAT ON THAT STAGE TONIGHT OR TOMORROW NIGHT IS THE CAMPAIGN FEAR THE MOST? WHO POSES THE BIGGEST THREAT TO DONALD TRUMP?>>I MEAN, I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY THIS, BUT WE FEEL VERY SOLID AS A CAMPAIGN ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S CHANCES AND REALLY I DON’T THINK ANYONE HAS STOOD OUT IS REALLY A STRONG, STRONG CONTENDER, ESPECIALLY SANDRA, WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE RAISING THEIR HANDS FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO THIS COUNTRY. PEOPLE WHO BROKE OUR LAWS, YET WE ARE IGNORING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT HAND RAISING MOMENT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AT THIS DEBATE AND TOMORROW NIGHT AS WELL.>>Sandra: YOU MUST BE PLANNING ON SOMETHING.>>WE WILL SEE WHO IT TURNS OUT TO BE. WE HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US.>>Sandra: WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE?>>I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH JOE BIDEN. I THINK THE PRESIDENT WOULD TOO.>>Sandra: WHY?>>I JUST GET REALLY DOESN’T HAVE THE STAMINA TO GO ALONGSIDE THIS PRESIDENT TOE-TO-TOE WHEN IT COMES TO CAMPAIGNING, WHEN IT COMES TO DEBATING. HE LOOKED VERY WEAK IN THE LAST DEBATE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE SO IF IT’S SLEEPY JOE, AS THE PRESIDENT CALLS THEM, WE WILL BE OKAY WITH THAT.>>Sandra: SOME MIGHT THINK YOU’RE SAYING HE’S TOO OLD. PICK A WELL YOU ARE ONLY AS OLD AS YOU ACT AND AS OLD AS YOU FEEL.>>Sandra: INTERESTING. THE PRESIDENT REFERENCED IN TODAY, HE DOES BELIEVE THAT JOE BIDEN WILL ULTIMATELY BE HIS
